OK. I did what I was supposed to..I believe.

1. I first did a clean install.
2. I then downloaded the 2 required config files to my HD Opened them and they have all the correct linking information.
3. Uploaded the old site
4 Overwrote the 2 config files. Checked the files on the server and they were as they should be.
5. tried to open zencart and got the install prompt
6. tried to open admin area and got.
